Move Your Mind Rap

I admire teachers. They’re amazing. Or as my daughter likes to say, “Teachers are the most important people on earth.” So when my friends at We Are Teachers called and asked to collaborate on a project promoting getting kids moving in the classroom I was all over it! I got to play a teacher. I got to write an original rap song. And I got to champion a cause that’s very dear to my heart—education! There is a TON of research around how important it is to get kids moving in the classroom. It improves their test scores. Improves behavior. Helps them learn. But I won’t tell you about it, I’ll rap about it! And one more thing, Moving Minds by Gopher is giving away 26 prizes (yes, 26!!) consisting of the cool classroom products you see in this video. So tell all your teacher friends to enter to WIN! Here are the details and entry form!

While movement in class may benefit neurotypical kids like in this video, it is essential to many children on the Autism Spectrum. My girls are so lucky to have a school that supports their use of “sit and move” cushions, proactive movement breaks as well as “brain breaks” and “dance breaks” for the whole class. Without these, my girls and many others simply would not last the day.
